>> DESCRIPTION:
>> I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor

>> HOW TO REPRODUCE:

>> 3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output
